OperationOperation

The operation could vary depending on the type of controls used. Plaese consult the
control operation manual for complete details.
To keep your unit clean, regular maintenance is suggested. To remove dust, use a soft
cloth. To remove a stain, use a damp cloth. Never use abrasive products which could
damage the finish.
Warning : in certains cases, the grille may become yellow after a while. This pheno-
mene is not due to a manufacturing defect. It is caused by smoke or suspende parti-
cles present in the surrounding air, heated and blown out through the grille. This colo-
ration can be reduced by cleaning the grille on a weekly basis.
